Acrostic Poetry（藏头诗）

这是我女儿去年写的一首英文藏头诗。

Perplexing puzzles, pirates do.

U nder the watchful eyes of a crew.

Z ig- zag ‘round, the many ships,

Z esty rum filling their lips.

L anding at dock, ship full of PoE,

E nding the voyage, the ship starts to slow.

Pillaging the seven seas,

I ll-temperered, fighting as they please.

Rumble, swordfight, treasure drop,

A t the inn, they compete to the top,

Tired pirates collect their pay,

Endless fun awaits, next day!

Puzzle Pirate是她喜欢玩的游戏。

Pillaging:sailing across the seas in pirate talk.
